Tikka T3X Varmint Scope Mount Question

[Steve_O]

I just ordered a Tikka T3X Varmint in 6.5 CM that I will be using as a hunting and 1000 yard target rifle more target oriented than hunting. I have a set of Vortex Precision Matched 30mm rings with a Vortex Diamond Back Tactical 4x16. What scope base would be best for this application? Iam a new Tikka owner and long range shooter so need some help with mounting my scope on my new rifle. Thanks!

Any quality 20MOA base should serve you fine.

For example: I like the one Area 419 offers.

Edit: I usually cleaning the mating surfaces and threads (screws and receiver) then apply blue loctite on the screws.

I have an older T3 Varmint model and I bought an EGW rail. Be sure to get the HD model of their rail.

I got a sphur sct 4006. Mounts to the stock grooves well.
